In the 'Post a picture of your child as a newborn and today'-thread, mittenmacher said Beety & Raygold look alike and we must hear that all the time. We don't usually hear that (maybe because Raygold's hair is blonde and straight and Beety's is dishwater and wavy?), but Mr. Crabby has trouble telling their baby pictures apart. I can't figure out why.

Beetroot:

Raygold:

I'm trying to find some old pics where I look like my kids (I really look like Beetroot), but that's not as easy because I only have a handful of my own baby/kid pictures.

Haha. I just showed Felix the picture of my husband when he was little. I said, "Who's that?" And he lit up in a big grin and said, "Felix!" Then he looked a bit closer, looked confused, and said, "I dunno?"

felix looks more like my husband did as a baby, and milo looks more like i did. when you compare pictures of them from the same age they look obviously different, but seeing them together as they are people often comment that they look alike.

felix vs milo (both at 6 months)

I only have one baby so I can't play this game quite yet. I think Raygold & Beetroot look very much alike. Felix & Milo are too cute, I love the pic of the tow of them, so sweet :)Zola & Felix, love the matching outfits and too funny that the pic is in the same place.

Everyone always says my sister and I look like twins, I don't see it though...We still get it 26 years later...

My sister and I have had people tell us that they don't know which of us is which if we aren't in the same room. We look a little alike, but certainly not so much that people shouldn't be able to tell us apart. Plus, she has brown hair usually shoulder-length or shorter and I've always had long blonde hair.

My sister and I are over 5 years apart (I'm the older one) and don't really look related. One time my mom got us matching outfits when we were kids (she got a more mature version of our outfit for herself, but there wasn't a fatherly version for my dad) and we wore the matching outfits on vacation and this Chinese bloke asked if we were twins. We were, like, "...what the fizzle, we're not even the same height!" He was all, "well, you're dressed alike!"

*The following comment is totally not PC*After the dude walked away, my sister suggested maybe since he was Chinese he couldn't tell us apart. I was about 11 or 12 at the time and thought that was the funniest thing ever.

I'm not going to post a photo of her/us, though, because I am worried my family will find it and yell at me for posting about them.

This is a picture of my friend Kate and I. We used to work together and are super good friends. People that we worked with thought that we were twins! And when we said no, they insisted we were sisters, if not that then cousins! Seriously, we are both white and have brown eyes and hair, I don't think we look that much alike.

Your actual features piece by piece look nothing alike littlebear but I guess if someone didn't know you well they might get you mistaken? It's weird when it's the opposite. Like when people have the same features but when you look at them quickly they look nothing alike. felix and milo are kind of like that. If you compare each individual feature they look so similar but the far away view of them is different.

love love love the photos of your boys in that bright outfit, Crabby! I think all three have a definite family resemblance, and I love that you make bald babies, hehe. I was a baldy till I was at least a year old so I have a soft spot for naked-headed babies!
